3. UGLY FEET (flaunt or fix)

Ugly feet sound so...UGLY and mean! So from now on I will call it "special feet".

*So here are a few tips and tricks to help cure the "special feet" syndrome.

Cracked Heels
Dry cracked heels are usually caused by prolonged standing or wearing shoes that are not right for you.

You can Shea Butter and lather it on your feet. Put on socks and leave it on over night. Do this every night until the dead skins are totally gone. You can buy herbal foot creams or a cracked heel creams in any drugstores. And remember to only use pure/natural creams.

Swelling
Minor swelling is caused by walking or standing in a long period of time.

To treat swelling drink a lot of water, reduce salt intake and exercise. You also use pedicure soaks or simply go to a spa.

Odor
Foot odor is caused by bacteria feeding on the dead skin.

First, you need to choose a good anti-bacterial soap. Thoroughly dry your feet and apply foot spray or foot powder especially between the toes afterwards.

Calluses
Calluses are caused by constant friction and pressure on the skin.

For a home remedy, soak you feet in warm water for 15 minutes. This will reduce the swelling and soften calluses. After soaking, use a foot file to smooth thing down. Finally, moisturize with herbal cream.

SHOES!!!
Some of the shoes you can wear even if you have “special feet”.

Pump

Skimmer

Bootie

These shoes are perfect for the obvious reason- they cover most of your feet and hides those unsightly bits.
